Definitely, and the PP has been really bad. It’s not one factor. But I’m just saying that amongst the constellation of factors, goaltending is the most important for me.
You definitely can’t say it’s only been Markstrom who has been bad. According to the goals saved above expected metric, Vladar has been worse, and he’s just been fortunate to pick up more wins because the team in front of him has played better on those nights. That might not factor in when the goals are let in, though. There was a poster with an awesome post about that at one point. Credit to that poster, whomever it was.
